Q .

Which country has secured the hosting rights for the 2026 Commonwealth Games?

England

Australia

Northern Ireland

Scotland

Correct Answer : Scotland

Scotland has secured the hosting rights for the 2026 Commonwealth Games, following Australia's withdrawal due to cost concerns.

This marks Scotland's second time hosting the event, after successfully organizing the 2014 Games in Glasgow.

The 2026 Games will feature a scaled-down format with fewer sports and athletes, spread across four venues, ensuring financial viability while maintaining the event's accessibility.

Glasgow's previous experience in hosting the Games makes it an ideal location for this scaled-down edition.

The Scottish government's commitment to hosting the event reflects its dedication to promoting sports and cultural exchange.
